A blog on London history – and other stuff

London from the Shard

The new header image you can see above (and to the right, click on it to see the bigger version ) was my Christmas present – it’s a 2 metre-wide print by Neil Williams that was bought from his stall in Northcote Road market.

It’s stitched together from a whole load of individual images – as he says on his Facebook page, “I had to handhold the camera because you’re not allowed to take up a tripod. in the end I merged about 50 images together.”
